Parameter Values

Parameter values can be placed anywhere on the worksheet, and are edited in a rectangle. They can be used to define param-
eters of function blocks or to define a constant value.
1. Place a value element on the worksheet (left diagram below)
2. Connect it to the parameter input (T time in this case)
ON
3. Double click on the value and type in the time
4. Press return (right figure below)
5. If the value is outside the permitted value range a message is shown in the message window if the
application is checked (e.g. if you press Apply).
Parameters can have the following formats:
Time Constant
The supported time format follows the one used in the PLC world. It starts with the prefix 'T#' and then one or more of the
following specifications are possible: h (hour), m (minute), s (second), ms (millisecond). In general an unspecified time input
is internally set to zero (if not otherwise stated).
Examples:
• T#1h30m -> 1 hour, 30 min
• T200ms -> 200 milli seconds
• T1m20s100ms -> 1 minute, 20 seconds, 100 milli seconds
Boolean Constant
A boolean constant can be either true (logical 1) or false (logical 0).
Therefore a constant can be either '1' or '0'.
An unconnected input is internally set to zero (if not otherwise stated).
Word Constants
Word constants can have the value 0 ... 65535 respectively 0x0 ... 0xffff.
No negative values can be specified.
An unconnected input is internally set to zero (if not otherwise stated).
